“We were very nervous about leaving our cats with someone new since we just moved them to the area and they were going through alot of change with that, but we were very happy with Lori and her attentiveness to them while we were gone. They appeared to take to her right away. We would highly recommend Lori to anyone looking for pet care.”
“Heather is very attentive and makes sure that she gives clear solid photos of your furry friends. She is very helpful and makes sure all of your animals needs are met. Very reliable. Please book her! She's such a wonderful support to animal care.”
“Neomi was amazing! We needed a sitter last minute with our puppy, and she really helped us out. She was responsive and even switched up the timing of her visit for us. We highly recommend Neomi!”
“Ariel was on time, followed all instructions, and even stayed extra for my skittish dog. Not easy taking care of my crew but Ariel handled them all well - came home to happy pups. She also communicated with me and provided updates which is what I look for in a sitter. I can recommend Ariel”
About: With over 4 years of experience as a professional dog trainer and pet care provider, I bring a calm, confident, and caring energy to every dog I meet. Whether your pup needs overnight boarding, walks, or some extra playtime, I treat every dog like my own—with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs! I specialize in understanding each dog’s unique personality and needs. From high-energy pups to shy seniors, your dog’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I also offer updates with photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Let’s give your pup a fun, safe, and loving stay. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐶❤️ It is my full time job so the dogs get my attention throughout the day and evening if they board over night with me I like to include them in my everyday life as much as possible. When unsupervised I keep the dogs in a ruffland crate for safety of your dog and the other dogs I have at the time. I live right by the river and love to take the dogs there to play in the water and the beach! I also have a gps collar that I put on every dog when I take them outside of my house for safety.
“Samantha is AWESOME! She was able to step in last minute and was extremely accommodating. We were able to enjoy our long weekend knowing Lady Sif was in amazing hands. Will be booking again!!”
About: I have previous experience in caring for an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix for long periods at a time. Being a high energy dog- I’m prepared for anything. I’m willing to help in whatever way I can- and provide your pet with love and attention! I have always had pets, but currently can’t afford to keep one myself. Growing up I had a Rottweiler and a Jack Russell, as I became a teenager we adopted a Pit Bull type dog who really changed my perception about the breed. I have high energy myself- so I love to be able to get dogs outside as much as possible and burn off a lot of their pent up energy. Dogs need it just as much as children do! I work a normal 9-5 job usually Monday- Friday but I have a partner who works from home, who I could argue loves pets as much as I do. I have a big yard and perfect sized home that is very safe for big and small pets as it is a single floor home. I do have a crate if needed for your fur baby and will treat them like my own pet.
About: I bring over four years of experience working with a wide variety of dogs and cats, giving me a strong understanding of unique pet personalities. I’m a full-time college student at Morgan State University, I’m a Psych major. I have a very flexible schedule to fit into your busy day! I follow the owners schedule, I leave the house tidy as when I arrived, I send pet photo updates via messages, and reinforce positive behavior.
About: I’ve grown up with pets at home for the last 17 years. My extended family all have had dogs my entire life varying from Rottweilers, dachshunds, German shepherds and yorkies. I’ve walked, dog sat, bathed, taken care of for both short and extended periods of time for family and friends for about 10 years. I’ve recently moved to Virginia with some family and although not “technically” mine, currently with an extra 4 Maltese and 1 mastiff I set my own hours with my day job. Because of that, I set the same hours on a weekly basis to minimize any confusion. My parents currently have a dog who is very anxious and easily scared so from my personal experience, I’m great with making sure a dog feels more than comfortable with me. I allow them to sniff my hand and/or anything else including shoes, pants, shirt, whatever they need to feel comfortable. Trust with a dog is built over time and I will never force you for baby to go with me if they don’t feel safe.
About: I have always loved animals and always been around them in my home. I have years of experience with feeding, exercising, and providing enrichment for both cats and dogs. I understand the importance of making sure they feel comfortable as well as respected during our time together. My goal is to ensure that your pet is happy, healthy, and cared for when you need a little extra help! I’m currently working part time, and have plenty of time to hangout with your fur babies. With my current seasonal hours slowing down, your pets can be guaranteed a sitter with pretty open availability! I have a large backyard and one level home for your fur baby. I have access to 5 miles of shaded and accessible trails as well as a dog friendly beach. My furniture is meant to be enjoyed by four-legged friends and I love taking them on “field trips” to many of the natural areas I have access to!
About: I love dogs. I am currently a Daunt (Dog Aunt) to many dogs big and small! I love walking, being outside and playing with dogs! I am currently available to lavish all of my time on your pet pooch, as after a couple of years working as an RN during the pandemic I am taking a break. I treat all dogs with love and care and at the preferences of the owner. I respect dietary and exercise routines. In my home or yours, I can walk them as often as needed, prepare meals, and keep them entertained! I do not expect tips and all care of your furbabies is included in the stated rates.

“Samantha is AWESOME! She was able to step in last minute and was extremely accommodating. We were able to enjoy our long weekend knowing Lady Sif was in amazing hands. Will be booking again!!”
Hanna M.
“Hanna is an excellent candidate for becoming a dog walker/sitter. She has a passion for caring for others and is extremely responsible. Hanna has watched our two dogs and one cat multiple times and has always done a great job feeding them, making sure they have water, walking them and giving them all the love and attention they need. She will not disappoint!”
Jessi B.
“Jessi would truly excel as a dog walker! His love for dogs shines through in everything he does, and he has a remarkable talent for connecting with them, regardless of their size or temperament. As a fellow pet sitter, I can’t express how comforting it is to have someone trustworthy like him to rely on. It means the world to me and my fur baby to know we have such a compassionate person to turn to!”
Elizabeth C.
“Elizabeth has heart, compassion and care in all that she does, especially when caring for animals. I have a high energy golden retriever that I trust Elizabeth to watch and walk on a regular basis. I would describe her as responsible and trustworthy, as well as patient and kind, all things any pet parent requires when looking for someone to look after their pet. My dog also loves her, too, and gets so excited when she sees Elizabeth walk in. Elizabeth is an ideal pet caregiver.”
Margaret H.
“Margaret is a true animal-whisperer! As soon as she arrives, she gives my dog “morning affirmations,” which includes cuddling, belly rubs, and talking softly to her before taking her on a walk. When she returns, she cleans my cat’s litter box and gives my cat enrichment time while flicking a catnip toy in front of her. My cat greets Margaret every morning when she arrives and patiently waits for her turn to have attention! Aside from being great with my fur babies, Margaret is not afraid to handle my python so that he doesn’t miss out on his enrichment time either. She is literally the jack-of-all when it comes to animal care! She has the education to back up her animal husbandry expertise, and I can leave my home knowing that she can hold the fort down until I get back home!”
Janine M.
“Will definitely book Janine again!”
Chelsi F.
“Chelsi was great! I could leave my kitten with no worries!”
Melanie D.
“Melanie is wonderful with my dog Ronja! I feel totally at ease leaving her with Melanie when I go away, or if I need help with walks when I am working long hours. My dog is always so excited to see her which makes me feel good about leaving her in Melanie's care.”
